About the company

At Gridfuse, we believe the future of energy should be decentralized and renewable - and we're building the infrastructure to make that happen. The grid still depends on fossil fuels - not because we lack renewable energy, but because we lack the systems to integrate it reliably. Our mission is to shift that balance through technology: by building intelligent, decentralized power pools that respond to volatility in real time. It takes a unique team to meet this vision. You will join our Core team, which is responsible for providing central functionalities for the Gridfuse platform. It is a team of DevOps & System Engineers that designs the infrastructure and software to deliver and operate secure and reliable connection & control services. We are looking for colleague (m/f/d) to join us in Leipzig or remotely from Berlin (since part of the team is based in Berlin)., We believe that a team of passionate tech people driven by a great mission can build everything. This is why we focus on getting and keeping the right people. We encourage everyone at Gridfuse to take ownership and responsibility. We want to empower ourselves in what we do and to empower our mates. Our strong believe is that building up trustworthy relationships will give us the power to grow. We see technology innovations as the key enabler for our teams and our business itself. Having this in mind we want to adapt fast and focus on working with cutting-edge technologies. Current crises forced us to make a decision. Life is too short to build the next webshop. We all are part of the Gridfuse team to build something that has a positive impact on the life of current and future generations. This urgent mission is our daily motivation.
